Archive for the ‘GMC Kingsley’ tag

The GMC motorhome has long been a cult item, favored among hardcore RVers and product marketers alike. Yet they demand a different set of resources than your typical collector car – more storage space, bigger floor jacks, and an interior designer’s touch – which is likely why we see these three 26-footers – a 1973 GMC, a 1973 GMC Painted Desert, and a 1977 GMC Kingsley – for sale on Hemmings.com, all from the same seller in southeast Pennsylvania. Which of the three would you choose?

From the description of the 1973 26-footer:

Coach was last driven in 1993 when oil line broke and engine siezed up. Coach is all original and interior is in good shape, exterior paint is weak, but coach is very solid. Great for restoration or parts.

Coach has spent most of it’s life in a garage and is in good condition. Interior is all original except for professionaly replaced draperies and the 3 way refrigerator was replaced a couple of years ago. Coach runs and drives great.

One owner, but coach was parked outside in 1993 and has not been used since. Needs tires, brake system, repairs to fuel system and other restoration. Coach is all original and has awnings on both sides. 26,000 is the actual milage. Engine will run and is a 455. Great restoration project or for parts.
